When making a telephone call using a calling card, a call lasting 5 minutes cost $0.95. a call lasting 13 minutes cost $1.75. let y be the cost of making a call lasting x minutes using a calling card. write a linear equation that models the cost of making a call lasting x minutes.

a. y = 10x - 981/20
b. y = -0.1x + 1.45
c. y = 0.1x + 0.45

We are basically searching for the equation of the line

(y-yo) = m*(x - xo)

Where,

m is the slope of the line

(xo, yo) is an arbitrary point that belongs to the line

The slope can be found with the points given in the problem

(x1,y1) = (5 min , $0.95)

(x2,y2) =  (13 min , $1.75)

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = ($1.75 - $0.95) / (13 min  - 5 min)

m = 0.8/ 8 = 0.1 $/min

(y-0.95) = 0.1*(x - 5)

y = 0.1*x + 0.45

Option C

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
